CHAPTER V: PROJECT PROFILE

5.1 Project Description

P.A.V: Philippine Athletes Village

The project is a sports-oriented development designed to provide Filipino

athletes competing in the local and international competitions a place to train and hone

their skills and provide an avenue for improving the Philippines performance in

international sporting events with the Olympic games being the pinnacle of sport

achievement. The complex will provide athletes with both training and lodging

facilities. The complex is to be designed as self-sustaining with little need for support

from outside facilities. The complex will cover spaces such as individual training

facilities per sport, a main stadium, various smaller stadia and playing turfs and athlete

lodging facilities ranging from private, semi-private to public and support spaces

needed to sustain the facility.

The proposed project will also focus on creating a sustainable and feasible

Filipinos and create a sense of national patriotism and pride when it comes to sport and

its growth.

5.2 Philippine Olympic Committee

5.2.1 Overview and History

The POC is a private, non-governmental organization composed of and serve as

the mother organization of all National Sports Associations (NSAs) in the Philippines.

It is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as having the sole

authority for representation of the Philippines in the Olympic Games, the Asian Games,

the Southeast Asian Games and other multi-event competitions.

The POC is financially independent and does not receive any subsidy from

government, though its member NSAs receive some financial assistance from

the Philippine Sports Commission. Instead, the POC supports its own activities with

funds generated from sponsorships, licensing fees on the use of the Olympic marks,

IOC subsidy and proceeds from special projects and donations.

The Far Eastern Olympic Association was established September 1911 to

prepare the Far Eastern Olympics with Governor General Forbes as head. FEOA which

became Far Eastern Athletic Association in 1915 was the precursor of the Asian Games

Federation, now the Olympic Council of Asia. In the same vein, the Asian Games grew

out of the Far Eastern Games.

In 1929 the IOC recognized the PAAF as the National Olympic Committee in

the Philippines after swimmer Teofilo Yldefonso won for the Philippines its first

Olympic medal-a bronze in the 200 meters breaststroke at the 1928 Amsterdam

Olympics. The first Filipino Olympian, however, was David Nepomuceno who saw

action in Athletics in the 100m and 200m sprints in the 1924 Paris Games. The first
 P.A.V.: Philippine Athletes Village

Filipino President of the PAAF was President Manuel L. Quezon. He held the position

from 1916 until 1935.

In 1975, the name Philippine Olympic Committee was adopted after the creation of the

Department of Youth and Sports Development that effectively abolished the Philippine

Amateur Athletic Federation. Since then, official representation to international multi-

sports competitions under the patronage of the IOC have been under the Philippine

Olympic Committee. Currently, the Philippine Olympic Committee accredits the

members of the Philippine Delegation to the Olympic Games, Asian Games and the

Southeast Asian Games. Other than the above stated Games under the patronage of the

IOC, the different NSAs under the umbrella of the POC also actively participate in their

respective international federations (IFs) World Championships and other multi-sports

competitions such as the World Games, University Games, Asian Beach Games, and

Asian Indoor Games.
